SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- Quinten Post is not just the Golden State Warriors center - he's the NBA's chess champion. Post won the inaugural Chesstival tournament back in July, collecting a $25,000 check to be donated to a charity of his choice.

ABC7 Sports Director Larry Beil loved playing chess in his younger years, and challenged the 7-footer to a match at Splash in Thrive City.
